Well it all came from Zuckerberg's internet platform where people could place photos from girls on the net and discuss and insult them publicly, for their looks. Then he stole the ideas from those two other guys and combined it all to 'Facebook'. I can find nothing "ethical" (lmao) in that and selling private data.
And while it is nice and easy to find certain people again from older times, and exchanging eMail-addresses, Facebook's purpose has by then ended for me.
I admit i never understood the structure of Facebook; when it comes to posts, it is all a messed up. Sorted by date, and all cluttered regardless of person or theme; impossible to find certain older posts as well.
Regarding collecting and selling data and metadata, Facebook is an amateur compared to Google or Amazon. Bezos should have disregarded his advisors, and called Amazon "Relentless" (what it is), as he initially wanted.
b.t.w.
www.relentless.com still takes you to "Amazon"
Regarding Facebook and "Cambridge Analytica".. we have seen where it leads. I was astonished though how voting could be influenced in such a massive way.
But this is not "abusing" Facebook, it is about
using it. It is all in there, it just has to be exploited. For money and political power. Facebook and ethics, really..
